	abstract = {The 18th century had more than five thousand different forms of poetical miscellanies and verse collections written by multiple authors. In this article, Jennifer Batt provides an overview of the existing scholarship on these collections. Some of the ways this study studies the miscellanies is through: describing the different collections of the miscellanies; investigating what they reveal about the literary landscape and readers; exploring how this information aids researchers studying the 18th century; and tracking what these collections illuminate about the 18th century process of printing and book trade. The author refers to the Digital Miscellanies Index, an open online resource that stores information about the miscellanies and its metadata, as well as questions of copyright and author contribution, in order to serve as a guide to 18th century miscellanies poetic culture.  },
